Conversations

Here’s a selection of the conversations happening on these photos & illustrations:

Zybsyko (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Joe said:

  Apparently this is Polish wrestler Stanislaus Zbyszko (1879?-1967), who is the subject of this page at the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame website.

• The Library of Congress said:

  whyaduck: Thanks for helping us track down the correct name of man depicted in this photo. We'll change the source data and reload the description.

• Joe said:

  After seeing this recently added photo, I'm wondering if maybe the photo above is not Stanislaus Zybszko, but his younger brother, Wladek. On the Internet, many photos identified as Stanislaus Zybszko show him wearing a moustache, while photos of Wladek invariably show him without facial hair.

• The Library of Congress said:

  whyaduck: We believe the photo is of Stanislaus Zbyszko. Check the other picture of him at this link: www.wrestling-titles.com/personalities/zbyszko_stanislaus/

Carl Nelson (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Joe said:

  There are a couple of mentions in New York Times articles in early 1912 of a Danish wrestler named Carl Nelson. This one from January 29, 1912, says he is the Danish Lightweight champion. This article of January 15, 1912, refers to him a a protege of Jess Pederson, the Danish wrestling champion (presumably in another weight class.) In any case, the guy definitely looks like a wrestler.

• The Library of Congress said:

  whyaduck: Thanks for the additional information. We'll add it to the source data and reload the description.

Nestor Tuominen (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Joe said:

  Here is another Bain photo of Finnish wrestler Nestori Tuominen.

• Harry Angstrom said:

  photo title seems to be mis-spelled here (compared to what is written on the negative) and compared to other Bain photo cited above.

• The Library of Congress said:

  Thanks for spotting the typo. We'll fix the source data and reload the description.

  Nestori won the Greco-Roman wrestling gold in 1911 in the 67 kg weight class. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1911_World_Wrestling_Championships
